The prices quoted for all Boardnlodge holidays do not include travel but once we confirm which week(s) your group are interested in we will help to choose and plan your most convenient method of transport to Chamonix and give you any help you need to make your journey as quick and stress free as possible.

Plane:
If you prefer to fly we can search our directory of flight suppliers to find the cheapest and most convenient flight for you. Just let us know your preferred week(s), how many of you there are and we will get back to you with a quote rightaway. Easyjet (www.easyjet.com) also fly direct to Geneva from various airports around the UK.

If you choose to fly you will obviously need to get from Geneva to Chamonix. There are two choices; either an airport transfer, which you can book with us. We are not including airport transfers in either our Chalet or Self-Catered holidays. This is so as not to penalise guests who are travelling by car, train or coach and do not require transfers. It also allows guests who choose to fly, to have greater flexibility with their choice of flight, as they will no longer need to choose flights coinciding with our airport transfer trips. Please indicate that you require a transfer on the booking form.

Hire A Car
Alternatively you can hire a car which costs from £125 for the week. You can contact Hertz on 0990 966 699 or at www.hertz.co.uk to arrange this. Train: Trains depart from London Waterloo via Paris and St Gevais to Chamonix or Argentiere. This is NOT the same train as the Snowtrain. You will normally depart Waterloo on the Friday evening and arrive early Saturday morning. This means you can usually get at least an extra half-day on the mountain. The price is usually about £170. You can contact Rail Europe on 0990 848 848

Driving
Driving to Chamonix takes between 8 and 12 hours once you are off the ferry at Calais. P & O ferries information number is 08706 000 611 or via their website www.posl.com Seafrance ferries can be contacted on 08705 711 711 or at www.seafrance.co.uk Hertz also offer an inclusive car hire/Eurotunnel package. This reduces the overall journey time as driving a rental car is faster than driving your own! www.hertz.co.uk It is possible to buy snow chains, when required, at most garages on the approach to Chamonix. Try www.mappy.com for directions.

Coach
Eurolines provide a direct coach service to Chamonix from London Victoria coach station. This is probably the cheapest way of getting to Chamonix at £89 return or £79 if you under 26 (sadly I'm not, but I have a private jet). Coaches normally depart on the Friday afternoon and arrive at Chamonix train station at lunchtime on Saturday. Contact Eurolines on 08705 143 219 for prices, timetables and availability. Or go here : www.eurolines.com : I wouldn't though, it looks pretty weird. Transfer only: If, however, you are flying in to Geneva and travelling on to Chamonix independently we can provide you with a transfer to or from the airport. We use ATS who will pick you up or drop you off at your door with no waiting.
